I know its been forever and how can I post a picture from October this late in November you ask? Hey I figure I'm getting it in before December 1st. As you can see Charley and Zane enjoyed the pumpkin patch immensely. We were granted a picture perfect day.
This was too cute and almost too sad not to post. Alexis, Charley and Zane had a great time Trick or Treating the other night. Alexis was a popstar, Charley was a bumblebee and Zane was a purple monster. They all enjoyed the festivals and giving out treats to the trick or treaters coming around. Towards the end of the night, however, Zane was done:
Due to popular demand, I have reposted Charley's musings for everyone:
Alexis is out of school now and attending various camps here and there. She just finished with swimming camp which she loved. It was great too because I would get to see her in the pool during my workout. Now she is starting her Hockaday camp and soon she'll be going to two weeks of overnight camp.
Charley is learning more and more everyday. She knows her colors now and counts the steps when we go upstairs. She loves to help out around the house...throwing away trash or helping Daddy find his shoes. She puts lots of kisses on Zane during the day and hugs him alot too. She has friends at school now and sometimes gets on such a roll talking about her day that I have absolutley no idea what she is saying.
Zane is getting big now. He can roll from his belly to his back easily but not the other way around. This is trouble because he hates...I mean loathes, sleeping on his back. So he always wakes up when that happens and won't stop crying until you turn him back over on his belly. He loves to stand with help and doesn't like to sit much at all. Maybe he'll move straight to walking. He's very ticklish and has the best laugh...I just found another ticklish spot the other day while putting on his lotion.
Zane has started eating oatmeal and pretty much anything else we throw his way. You can tell he really wants to skip the preliminaries and head straight for the table food. Even though when I gave him a bite of mashed potatoes the other day, you would have thought I was feeding him manure or something. He spit it out so fast, it was all over the place. Oh, well...on with the strained peas.
Charley got a new kitchen for her birthday back in April. I had a fun time putting it together. She loves to make me treats and this ask me if I want "more?"...followed by an "okay". Sometimes, I will pretend that I am drinking the tea for a very long time and she'll want to get the cup back but when I tell her that I'm not through, she waits patiently...even sitting and just watching me drink the pretend tea. Eventually, she starts to laugh because she knows that I should be through by then.
Well, as hard as it is to believe, Zanes 100 Days old! We invited family and friends over for the celebration. I spent most of the time grilling out the hamburgers and hotdogs and trying to make sure I didn't burn down the neighborhood in the process (with all of the dry grass around these days). Zanes Aunt Robin picked up a great cake with a firetruck and everything. He also received plenty of gifts. I've also added some photos on the left <---
I know you guys would enjoy this picture of the kids. Carter is 1 month here.
Check out Daddy and his girls. Everytime I look at this picture I can't believe how much they have grown. Alexis seems to have turned into a young lady right before my eyes. She is doing great in school. 3rd grade has Alexis doing alot more homework. Its all been challenging and she is meeting it all head on. She is counting down till her braces come off. 6 weeks to go!! Charley is almost 2. She is trying to say more words each day. Its pretty fun trying to figure out what she is saying. Her favorite thing lately is dancing to her Christmas reindeer. I'll try and record it and post it next week. (i'll try)
Carter Zane is a month old and has earned a new nickname. He is my "chunky monkey". Entering the world at 6 lbs 8 ounces was a bit small but he has made that all up in the last 4 weeks. At his Dr's appointment he weighed in at 9 lbs 5.4 ounces. Just check out those cheeks.
